The Adventures of Midgy The Baby Donkey

A Tale of Family Fun and the Joy of a Blended Herd

Beschreibung

Join Midgy, the baby donkey as she sets forth on a lifetime of adventures on the farm... and meet a lovable crew of horses, donkeys, and one spunky mule-who are all sure to capture your child's heart! It's Midgy's birthday... and her very first day in the world. She's a bit wobbly on her tiny legs, but she's eager to explore, and both her donkey and human mommas are excited to introduce her to her whole family. Midgy might be a donkey, but she has lots of different animals to meet, each of them bringing something special and unique to the herd. She's about to meet a friendly paint horse, a dancing mule, and even a magical unicorn... and a whole bunch of other animals with hooves and manes! She'll meet singers and dancers, protectors and teachers-and every one of them has something special to teach her. They have gifts of wisdom, strength, and love to give her, and she's ready to soak it all up and find her place in the herd. With beautiful illustrations that bring the characters to life, this delightful story will captivate your child's imagination and encourage them to celebrate friendship, family, and belonging. Better yet, the story is based on a real-life herd who have all been adopted and given their forever home... so your child will know that each of their favorite characters is really out there being taken care of. Introduce your child to the beauty of diversity, and help them explore what it means to be a part of something special.

Jennifer Glassman is a passionate advocate for the preservation of wild Mustangs, horses, and donkeys, whose writing and photography not only highlight their beauty but also brings awareness to the inhumane treatment many of these animals face. Through her photography and her nonprofit organization, @3rdcoastsanctuary, Glassman aims to protect these sentient beings from brutal practices such as illegal roundups, poor treatment in Government holding facilities, and the heart-wrenching reality of being shipped across international borders for slaughter.A portion of the proceeds from Glassman's photography sales, as well as book sales, is directed toward her sanctuary, which offers a safe haven for Mustangs, horses, and donkeys that have been rescued from life-threatening situations. This sanctuary focuses on rehabilitating animals that have faced abuse or neglect and works to prevent their tragic fate in the illegal horse meat trade-a practice that involves shipping horses to foreign countries for slaughter. This issue is particularly urgent as tens of thousands of American horses are shipped each year to places like Canada and Mexico, where animal welfare standards can be far less regulated.With her Mustang-focused photography, Glassman seeks to raise awareness about this crisis and galvanize public support for protecting these animals. She joins a growing movement that calls for the end of such practices and for stronger legislation to protect American horses from being exploited for slaughter. Through her imagery, nonprofit work, and advocacy, Glassman strives to ensure that future generations will be able to witness these majestic creatures thriving in the wild, free from the threat of inhumane treatment. Glassman's career spans over 25 years in entertainment industry marketing, publicity, and event production, where she has led campaigns for both commercial and charitable causes. For the last 14 years, she has focused on Mustang Advocacy through her fine art photography, hands-on sanctuary care of her rescued herd, and writing books. Glassman lives with her husband in Metamora, Michigan, with their 28 rescued Mustangs, Horses, Donkeys, Dogs and Cats.All proceeds from this book will go to #feedtheherd @3rdcoastsanctuary
